Be it known that I, Josnr GRA NZQa sub- "act of thenGerman. Emperor, residing at Thesubje t mass: my ayaaoahts device or mechanism for the reference to a transmission of various different movements to any other mechanism or mechanisms;

In the accompanying drawings I "have showntwoconstructional examples of my invention, merely with a view toexplainmg its application. Of these two examples one is shown in Figures 1 to. 3, while the other is represented by F igs. '4' and '5. Of these figures ,Fig. 1 is alateral elevat on while Fig. 2 is a horizontal section 0 F1g. '1 Fig. 3 shows a front and lateral elevatlon of an individual portion of the mechanism shown in Figs. 1 and 2; Fig. 4 is a lateral elevation, and finally Fig. 5 is a horizontal section of Fig. 4.

The mechanism in question is operated by means of the shaft 1, which rotates continually in the direction indicated by the arrow. The rod 2 is moved vertically up and down by means of the mechanism. To the stationary axle 3 two systems of levers are attached suchwise that they are able to rotate, the one system consisting of three arms 4, 5, 6 and the other of three similar arms 4', 5', 6, each of the levers 4, 5 and 4, 5' has a rotatable roller at its extremity. Now the roller of the lever 4 comes in contact with the periphery of the disk 7, while the roller of lever 5 engages with the disk 8. The roller of lever 4' comes in contact with the periphery of disk 7, while the corresponding roller 5 bears against the disk 8. All these four disks are rlgidly fastened to the shaft 1. The periphery of the two disks 7 and 8 is in each case of such dimensions that the rollers of the two levers 4, 5 are continually compelled to come in contact with. the disks. The same arrangement prevails in the case of the disks 7' and 8'. The disk 7, however, is fashioned differently to the disk 7 and, consequently, the lever system 4, 5, 6 will perform movements which differ from those of the system of levers 4', 5, 6.

Now the essential aim and object of my have in- ,The, two single" part or iaveptipnf is to impart ,to .the rod ,2, accord-- ing as may lie required, casein, movement adaptei [,qorrespond to the shape of the pair-0f? s'. 7, B- and, atthe other time to that Of the; Amof disks 7, 8.

The end 0ft e, lever, 6 carries two circular rings "afnd, 10,' while two rings 9', 10 are also arranged. at the extremity of the lever 6'.' the rin 9 there is inserted a cylindricalld fik 11., which is ada ted to rotate with n t e ,,sai d' ring; a simi ar disk 11 is als nserted, ;with n the said ring 9, while therotatable disks 12 and 12' are inserted withimtherin s 10 and.1 0'. respectively. {illthes'e flour isks 11, 12 and 11', 12 are m each case provided with a diametrical slot, 1n the slot of the disks 11" there is inser'te Qeprismatic body 13 while a simi-' lanpi'ismatic body 13 lies within the disk lprisms 13. and 135 form. one ody and are disposed in the form of a rlght angle in relation to each other, as may be clearly seen on reference to Fig. 3. All these four prisms are rigidly connected to the common bolt16 by means of the transverse pins or pivots 14, 15. On the outer surface of the disk 11' there is provided a pin 17, with which the end of the rod 18 enga es in suchwise that it is capable of rotation. Consequently if the rod 18 be moved in a longitudinal direction whereby the pin 17 be caused to arrive at 17 to g ve an example, then a rotary movement will be imparted to the bolt 16 together with all the parts thereunto attached. If, for example the rotation amounts to a right angle or 90, then the prism 13' will acquire a horizontal position, while prism 13 will move into a vertical position. It is never necessary that the rotations should exceed 90, but it may be made smaller according to requirement. The end of the rod 2 is mounted in suchwise as to rotate be tween the two disks 11 and 12; the rod 2, namely, is provided with a round hole through which the bolt 16 passes.

The method of operation of the mechanism hereinbefore described is as follows. If the shaft 1 be rotated then the two systems of levers will be caused to make oscillatory movements around the shaft 3. These said movements, ,however, will difier from each other because the curved disks 7 and 7 are fashioned difierently. If the disks 11, 12 be set or adjusted, in the manner shown in Figs. 1 2 3, then the rod 2 will follow the movements of the lever system 4, 5, 6. If the disks 11, 12 are rotated to the extent of 90, by means of the rod 18, then the rod will follow the movements of the lever system, 4, 5, 6; if, on the contrary the disks 11 and 12 be moved, by means of the rod 18, only in an angle of less than 90 (say 45 by way of example), then the rod 2 will acquire such compound movements as corres ond in part to the lever system 4;, 5, 6 an in part to the other lever system 4' 5', 6.

A simpler method oi carrying out the present invention is shown in Figs. 4, 5, wherein there is only one system of levers 4, 5, 6. In this form the rod 2 is ided in the bearings in suchwise that 1t is only capable o performing straight vertical movements. If the prism 13 be so adjusted as shown in Figs. 4, 5, then the rod 2 will follow the movements of the lever system 4, 5, 6. If, however, the disks 11, 12 be rotated to the extent of 90, by means of the rod 18, then the rod 2 will remain stationary.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. Mechanism for the transmission of different movements to another mechanism,

M ami comprising two prismatic bodies which form. one single piece and which are disposed at a right angle in relation to each other, and rotatable disks in which said prismatic bodies are embedded and which perform movements entirely different each from the other.

2. In mechanism for the transmission of difierent movements to another mechanism, two prismatic bodies disposed at a right angle to each other and firmly secured together, rotatable disks, said prismatic bodies being embedded in said rotatable disks, one of which performs movements different from that o the other, a rod, said disks being articulated to said rod, to rotate said disks and said prismatic bodies, so as to bring them into such a position that the desired transmission of movement will be effected.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
